The neck, Thoracic Inlet and Outlet, the Axilla and Chest Wall, the Ribs, Sternum and Clavicles.

Condensing osteitis* of the medial end of the clavicle - well defined bony sclerosis involving the inferior aspect with slight expansion and a small hook-like osteophyte. It is probably degenerative in origin (see Brower et al., 1974 and Cone et al., 1983). It may also follow osteomyelitis (Mollan et al., 1984).
The shoulder and pectoral girdle

This condition in some ways resembles condensing osteitis, but it is seen in slightly older people (both men and women) and is usually bilateral. Patients develop pain, swelling and tenderness over the sternoclavicular region and X-rays show hyperostosis of the medial ends of the clavicles, the adjacent sternum, the anterior ends of the upper ribs and the soft tissues in between. Vertebrae also may be affected and the ESR may be increased; little wonder that it has been suggested that this is a type of seronegative spondarthropathy.

Pulpotomy was indicated for various clinical diagnoses or clinical situations: reversible pulpitis [3,55,58,68,69,73,83], irreversible pulpitis [45,53,54,59,60,65–67,71,73,76–81,83,88] and chronic pulpitis (either hyperplasic pulpitis or condensing osteitis) [43,57,62,63] were the reported diagnoses. The absence of a clear clinical diagnosis was reported in three studies [50,51,70]. The association of responsiveness to cold stimulation, tenderness to pressure and periapical radiolucency were considered to indicate vital pulp in one case report [50], while another case was noted without symptoms, radiological loss of lamina dura and normal bleeding [51]. Lack of symptoms and radiological signs for pulpal or periodontal disease associated with pulp bleeding when opening the pulp were used in a cohort study [70].
